Decadent Date Smoothie Recipe

Decadent Date Smoothie

I didn't make my usual blueberry smoothie this morning because I was craving something a little different - actually something more dessert-like.

For the past week or so I've been following David Zinczenko's 8-Hour Diet, so today's smoothie (which I didn't have until 11:30am), really hit the spot. It tasted great and was actually the first thing I had to eat today.

I am planning to do a more in-depth article about my experience with The 8 Hour Diet, so be on the lookout for that.

Recently, I had purchased some lovely Medjool dates (which I love in any form), and I have been wanting to try them in a smoothie, so today was my lucky day.

The Skinny on Peter's Decadent Date Smoothie

I didn't want a super-huge drink, just enough for two small servings. I started with 1 cup of unsweetened coconut milk beverage, 1 banana, and 4 pitted and chopped Medjool dates.

I blended that well in my Vitamix until it was smooth and very creamy.

Next I added 2 teaspoons of Nutella and about 1 cup of ice. I blended it again until it reached a smooth and drinkable consistency.

According to my calculations, this smoothie has about 154 calories and 4* Weight Watchers PointsPlus per 1 cup serving.
